An hours-long early morning standoff with a gunman who hid under a parked SUV ended Sunday after the armed man surrendered to police.
Police said they responded around 5:35 a.m. to Brannan Street between Seventh and Eighth streets and found a man with a gun, who fled, firing at least one shot as he ran. Soon after, officers found the gunman hiding under a nearby vehicle.
Members of the SFPD tactical and hostage negotiations teams were called to talk to the gunman, as Fire Department paramedics stood by.
At 10:20 a.m., the man finally surrendered without incident.
Authorities said the blocked-off streets near the intersection were expected to reopen within an hour.
This incident has been resolved without further incident, and streets will be opened as the scene is broken down. https://t.co/fsXFuicY5j
